Dubai Airport Shopping

Duty Free Shopping at Dubai Airport

The Dubai Duty Free is definitely worth a visit the next time you are in Dubai.

The shopping heaven was a result of a $540 million expansion of the Dubai International Airport.

You can find it right in the middle of Sheikh Zayed Terminal.

Dubai Duty Free is most famous for its electronics and jewelry selection.

You will also find shops that carry certified Dubai diamond jewelry, Souvenirs, Tobacco and some of the worldâ€™s best fresh chocolates (Kishâ€™s favorites!).

Donâ€™t blow your shopping budget out of the water and save some cash on the way back to catch your flight back home. You can get some very good deals at the Dubai Duty Free. I was in the market for the second generation Ipod in early 2008.

I had a couple hours layover in Dubai from my trip from India to US and was browsing the electronics store at the Dubai Duty Free. I found the Ipod to be $40 cheaper than the best price I found in the US!

Other wonderful bargains I noticed were on perfumes, cigarettes (amazing deals) and gold! The Dubai government has made sure to deliver quality airport shopping experience. The duty free looks no different than a mall. You will see the same glamour, same service and the same marble floors all over!

If you are not going to Dubai specifically but have to travel for work or pleasure elsewhere, I recommend taking an Emirates flight whenever you can (especially if you travel a lot to the far east).

Aside from the 657 million wonderful things about the world class Emirates airlines, I am recommending it this time because you will likely make a stop in Dubai. And when you do, I hope you do enjoy the Dubai airport shopping experience.

The shops at the duty free are some of the best you will find around the world and the prices are equally as attractive even when you compare them to other duty free stores elsewhere.

It is very easy to get carried away shopping here and miss your flight so pay attention to the time and your wallet!
